Your very own

drumroll please

*drumroll*

topic for questions about Landrush, desktop edition, new hats, block trolls... !

 

 

 

I guess I will start with my own questions:

 

1. If Landrush is a new map, will our inventories, gold and plat be transfered from map to map (current map to Landrush and Landrush to current map), or will we have special Landrush inventories, gold and plat?
2. Will block trolls be added into Landrush as a mob that lived there far longer than the colour changing pixelated creatures from another world (players)?
3. Will block trolls be AI griefers?
4. Will weather be added (snow, rain...)?
5. When is 8bitmmo merchandise coming (Shirts, stickers, Draco action figures...)
6. When will you install a lava moat in your house in Origin?!

 

Btw, the reason I made the poll is because you almost always ask before you do something, so now you will have the answer witouth even having to ask the question!

1. If landrush is a new map, your inventory and gold and plat will all be usable in either location.  If it is a new server, then only plat will be usable in either location (new server = new character but same account).  HOWEVER, I am 99% sure landrush will be a new map as opposed to a whole new server.

 

2 & 3.  Block Trolls are still super-tbd.  Feel free to suggest attack ideas for them

 

4.  Weather is a cool idea -- but isn't planned in the near term

 

5.  I sold t-shirts for a week, but no one bought any.  Since I only print in small batches, they're $20/each.  I plan to order a few more in future, so if you want to buy one let me know.

 

6.  Probably never -- it's really hard to get a permit for lava

Next round of questions!

1. Was the poll helpfull at all?
2. Will the chat between Landrush and the normal map be shared (perhaps "/ssay <yourtexthere>" could be used or something simmilair?
3. Will you add chat colors for game announcements and mods?
4. Will the game be in fullscreen?
5. Will you add fasttravel between Landrush and the normal map (I will make a post about this one later and put a link here)?
6. Won't you need a larger moderator team if you have 2 maps?
7. When the game gets to Steam, will it still be available on Kongregate?
8. How did you get so many clones http://blog.8bitmmo....ing-600x349.png?

are you seriouly trying to get an IP for something pretty much EVERY videogame uses?

[RobbyZ]

I was joking about the building permit

 

1. Yes

2. Yes, excepting when concurrent players > 60 (see blog post about chat)

3. Yes, I have been meaning to do this for a while

4. It's not quite fullscreen, but you can maximize the window in desktop edition.  This can make the game run slower though. 

5. Still deciding this -- there are some ramifications involved, but I would like to have telepads work between maps.

6. Perhaps...

7. Yes

8. Load testing tool I wrote

This is a good thread. Nice votes, questions answered. Not the best place for it though considering you have to know to go to the forums to find it. Info about landrush / new map would be better posted on the news and the fundraiser link though that ends in a few days.

Won't you need a larger moderator team if you have 2 maps?

 

 Well, if mods could see all of the chat, via IRC (saying that there is over 60 people on), there would not be any need. Since it wouldn't be harder to handle (except for having ALOT more people on) I don't think having more mods would help (even though it could) The only problem is that there may be more trolls. But, I think we will handle it.
